Anyone can make a mistake. But when a documentary maker uses false information and intentionally deceptive images to create a fictional picture of a critical event, it's no mistake.

That's what Michael Moore did in 'Fahrenheit 9/11' regarding why the US invaded Afghanistan. This is serious business because:

1) Moore's image as Media Rebel has been masterfully promoted around the world so that now he is a hero for critics of US policy;

2) His false picture of why the US invaded Afghanistan trivializes the disastrous meaning of the invasion. Thus he lulls his viewers with inaccurate and petty criticism.

What is the real US policy?

But what about the greys?

Interestingly, from facts better established than Moore's, the author manages to draw genuinely insane conclusions. Another note added in proof for why one should never comment on the excerpts alone.
